Hi!
We have a tag in our forum that belongs to a tag group lets call it #private\_tag. We have a restriction there that “Tags are visible to everyone, but only the following groups can use them”.
However, the tag is not visible for users in the “All tags” lists. Not even for those included in the groups that can use the tag. Additionally, when users included in those groups have applied a filter for any category and that #private\_tag, they cannot create new post.
In the information they see the message that they don’t have permission to post in the category, even though they do.
So, is this by design or something that should be fixed?

How many topics are tagged with this tag?

I know it always say “category” even if the tag is the reason

> When you filter using a tag you’re not permitted to use, the ‘New Topic’ button is disabled. The information_source shows the message “You’re not allowed to create topics in this category”. However, the issue doesn’t lie with the category, but with the tag instead. This might seem obvious if you’re only filtering by the tag. However, if you filter using both a tag and a category (for example, #ux and #completed ([link](https://meta.discourse.org/tags/c/ux/9/completed)) ), it can give the impression that you’re not allowed to post topics in the #ux …

There were 7 topics with this tag by the time the issue was reported.
After I’ve changed to group the categories, I don’t see this issue anymore.

Ahaa, I get it now.
